I do only rate about 10 singles in the current top 40 but if streaming means the BORING likes of The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, Passenger cannot make a dent in the top 40 i can only applaud the effects of streaming

I'm 43 and I stopped listening to the charts only about 3 years ago (having started listening to the charts when I was 8). Reason being I feel that there's several musical ruts out there...and no-one has anything to say.
On You Tube the other day listening to I Called U by Lil Louis. some young commentator said wtte 'music used to be edgy and have attitude but now we just has boom boom shake your ass for my dick'. And it made me laugh. There is also some ad for a song I keep clicking on that starts 'I'm not well, I'm not well' in a pitiful voice and everytime it fires up, me and my bf just fall about laughing. I don't even know who it's by by it's a genre of music we have decided to call 'snowflake wallow'. It's awful. I'm sweetly surpised at how relatives who are 18/20 now are looking to my goldern era (89 - 99) for their pop music. We never had to do that because we had so much innovative music doing on. I'm an unashamed pop kid but it's not my age that has stopped it listening to the charts. |

Dont think you think its amazing that we were alive for the best era of music ever, we could have been born 200 years ago or be born in 200 years in the future and we would have missed 1960-2010.
Id like to believe this isnt true but basically it is. |

Thorney, there's still cool music made, it's just not getting into the chart. For example, ABC's recent single Viva Love:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLlaq4zGYwg ![]() How about this recent single: Shaun Escoffery - When The Love Is Gone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwGZl88sPt4 ![]() You got to look beyond the Top 40. With the rise of the internet it's made chart music less relevant, I reckon. |

Actually if you had been born 200 years ago (1816) you would lived through the greatest period of modern music. That was Romantic era (1780 - 1910) when music moved out of the Church and the Aristocracy to the people. The idea of public performance in theatres, the great operas by Wagner, symphonic works by Beethoven, concertos by Brahms.....it opened up the possibilities of the 20th Century and the rise of popular music. You would have missed 1960-2010 but it wouldn't matter.
Same story for you in Belfast i suspect. I might have heard of Rabbie Burns about it really. Not much of a pop culture in 18th century Scotland mostly just surviving!!

"Big Apple" was on the first 12 inch gatefold mixed 'album' with other various artists in the 80s that I purchased
![]() It was a risky buy as I hadn't heard some of them before. |

I was at the Brentwood Festival last weekend and Friday night it was Soul II Soul and Brand New Heavies. It was fantastic to watch to such brilliant bands whose music was part of the soundtrack of my younger years. Obviously, everyone knows Back To Life but hearing songs like Love Enuff, Fairplay, I Care etc brought back memories of long summer nights out in the bars of South London.
Robbie Vincent used to be on Radio London back in my days along with Tony Blackburn who gets forgotten about and written off as cheesy but did a huge amount for bringing soul music to the mainstream.

Well if I had lived in the Scottish Highlands in 1786 say I don't think I would have heard much of that

Not much of a pop culture in 18th century Scotland mostly just surviving!!As for Ireland, there was a huge growth in music culture in the 19th Century https://basilwalsh.wordpress.com/200...-19th-century/ It was in the 19th Century that music took off as live performance and then popular music emerged with the production of sheet music towards the end of the 19th Century and many households got their own piano. True, recorded music in the 20th Century has made music popular to an even greater degree. It's also arguable that the Jazz era and the roaring 20s were the greatest era for pop music. |

Sean Escoffery is great. Wonder if he's related to the Escofferys.

Id like to believe this isnt true but basically it is. i used to think i was born to late as i was only a boy in the 60's, my fav period, but then id have been 'too old' to enjoy the punk/post punk explosion in the late 70's early 80's.. im one of those adults who bought into britpop, too. but i never embraced the evolving dance scene from the rave of the late 80's through to ibiza trance by the turn of the century. but i can stil enjoy the music, even though i wasnt part of the scene. on reflection, i reckon i was born just right in order to fully enjoy the golden era in popular music , to witness it even when i wasnt part of most of it. |

This track from 2015 sounds like a great fusion of 80s pop and modern pop music. Giorgio Moroder - Wildstar (feat. Foxes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2e9NMW_ijc Quote:
One of the best of 2015!!!!
There's still good pop music produced but it doesn't all hit the chart. Dancing like a wildstar!
